Alerts notify you of important events from your organization. This allows you to shift from reactive to proactive monitoring.
The Alerts page lets users view their subscribed alerts to easily find important events and relevant footage. You can set up alerts for events across the cameras, intercom, access control, alarms, gateway, and air quality product lines.
